Podcasts, Scholarly Communication, and peer review

In this 25 minute recording, I sit down with Kate Wittenberg, Director of EPIC, the Electronic Publishing Initiative at Columbia.  We'll hear about interesting activities at EPIC, interest in technology by authors, peer review, tenure and promotion, social software, games, and the impact of search engines on small publishers.  She also shares some thoughts on ways that people read and how that might translate into an electronic environment.
